...night of drinking and arguing ended for Leonard Roberts and Robert Melton in a liquor-store parking lot outside the coal-mining town of Hazard, Ky., when Roberts pulled out his gun and fatally shot Melton. The incident was not unusual in the isolated, often violent hills of eastern Kentucky. Nor was the reaction of Melton's father Carl, 70. He wanted revenge, which is considered almost a family duty in a part of the world where blood feuds can last for generations.

After Himelman gorillaed an eight iron 30 yards over the green, he pitched his second shot back over the carpet and into a ravine.

Furthermore, the student members are not permitted to discuss any aspects of the proposed courses with fellow undergraduates. The committee members can therefore only hazard conjectures as to which possible Core offerings students might support; they are hard pressed to act as legitimate representatives...
...bubble problem had not been anticipated in engineering studies. Said Dudley Thompson, an executive officer of the NRC: "We are in a situation that is not a situation we have ever been in before." As officials studied the complex hazard, they discovered yet another ominous possibility: if the amount of hydrogen in the reactor kept growing, it could reach a level at which only a spark would be needed to set off a hydrogen-gas explosion.

The hazard of relying on oil was underscored once again last week by OPEC's price increases...
